Spatchcock chicken

MacEggs · Posted: Sep 12 2011 Post subject: Spatchcock chicken

This bird was about 3 lbs.
This is my lazy marinade. It's very good for chicken.

I used 2 bamboo skewers in an X pattern.

Used just a small stick (branch piece) of apple wood.
Was not going for a super smoke flavour.

After 40 minutes on the indirect side.

Then 5 minutes skin side down over the coals.
Then 5 minutes skin side up over the coals.

Back on to the indirect side to finish up.
I salvaged some coloured peppers that were on the way out.

Boiled some taters, then fried in the CI pan.

Plated.

I messed up on the potatoes a bit.
I wanted to get them crispy, but got mushy. Confused

I like chicken done this way - very simple and very tasty. Smile

Thanks for looking,

Mark
